Because the claimant failed to establish membership in the alleged organization and failed to credibly demonstrate attendance at the alleged 2001 demonstration—due to inconsistent testimony, lack of documentary corroboration, and non‑disclosure at entry—the Tribunal found on the balance of probabilities that he is neither a Convention refugee nor a person in need of protection.
